Claptrap was a pretty outstanding non-playable character. In the first two *Borderlands*, he was sort of a curt, demented WALL-E. He made you laugh. He made you cry. OK, really he just made you laugh, and doled out some side-missions. But in the new Borderlands game announced today, we get to see what it’s like to take control of the top-heavy, uni-wheeled robot with a bit of a superiority complex.

[*Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel* ](http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/04/09/borderlands-the-pre-sequel-takes-the-loot-n-shoot-series-into-space/?ref=killscreen.com)(that’s not me blanking on the word prequel, that’s the name), coming to old-gen systems this fall, will let you be Clappy, along with a few new character types. This could ruin a bit of what we love about him, or it could just be awesome. The team isn’t saying much about how playing as a foul-mouthed drone will change things, but the game looks to be more *Borderlands*, so you can expect him to still be collecting gun parts and shooting dudes. He’s being nicknamed Fragtrap, so maybe that provides a hint.
